Study Plan

- Week 5-7: Read Rita’s PMP® Prep Book to know what PMI®-ism is (see project management the PMI®’s way). Remember to go through Risk Management, Procurement Management, Integration Management, as they are the most difficult knowledge areas in PMP® Exam. The Head First PMP® is not enough for these chapters.
